Folk Machine have been crushing Valdiguié for a long time now. Something about the variety and its uncertain California history always intrigued them. The wine that originally produced was good, interesting and unique, but always more of a blender. Beginning in 2009, we started bottling Valdiguié as a single variety. They figured out the grape and the vineyard and a style that they liked for the two.  This aromatic, chillable red with bright, tart red berries, an herbal finesse and vibrant acidity that butts up agains an earthy edge. This wine is light and easy to drink, but far from simple.
